what can you tell us? >> i can tell you that the current threat of a terror attack in london is considered to be severe. that means the threats of terrorist activity is highly likely. we're not quite at the top level yet, which would be critical. and that would mean a terror threat would be imminent. so in terms of the way people in the uk are reacting, not much has changed in terms of there's no more visible policing. and that's perhaps because we've been in this height end state of alert since january. however if you move across to the continents and compare us to paris, then it's a different story because late last night, the eiffel tower, of course, had its second security alert. it had to be evacuated for the second time in two weeks. that was after a bomb threat which was later considered to be unfounded. that was cleared. that has since been cleared. but in terms of terror threats across europe, well, it's not just england. it's not just france. germany as well is considered to be a target. and if w

john harwood joins us now. we have reported this is something in the works for months, so not a surprise inside the west wing but perhaps the timing of the announcement. who might the president pick to replace larry summers? >> boy, that's a mystery, savannah. they have thought about this for some time. when i've run various names in the rumor mill by senior white house officials like mulkey, the former ser ox executive, we'll see what happens there. this is the timing of which was influenced by the president's remarks at the town hall the other day when i asked about whether geithner would be staying. i'm told that summers didn't want the speculation to stay in there. he had planned to do this for some time. i don't think it represents a change in policy. i think the administration remains comfortable with the track we're on and larry summers remains in tune with president obama, but it does give them a chance to refresh, bring in new blood and address the criticism they've faced about not having practical bus

what can you tell us about that? >> well, chuck, this one individual, ahmed siddiqui, a german, who has been held now for some time and who has been talking a lot and has given one stream of threat reporting, talking about a mumbai-style of attack. but that's not the only stream of threat reporting that concerns official. there are other potential threats emanating from south africa, particularly targeting france, which is of concern. it's a combination of human intelligence, these interrogations, and other forms of intel that they're gathering. but it paints a very compelling picture of a very serious threat right now. what we don't know is the timeline. how close it is to execution and whether or not all the u.s. activities inside pakistan, particularly the predator attacks, have had an impact on the operational planning. >> yeah, exactly. roger cressey, thanks for your report this morning. appreciate it. >>> it's interesting, american intelligence officials are being very leery of being able to say, we're safe ove
